Anna Studios - (Accommodation in Arillas)

Colin            

We stayed for 1 week in early September and judge this one of the best holidays we have had. The apartments are simple but modern and of high quality. We spent every day on the beach, but the pool and bar is very nice too. We loved the setting just outside the village, surrounded by olive groves and smallholdings. Anna and the team were great, even driving us down to a restaurant on our first night in the middle of a torrential thunderstorm. Arillas itself is a lovely laid back place with a nice mix of sleepy Greek village and international cool. We just wanted a totally relaxed experience in a peaceful spot at the end of a hectic summer, so this was ideal. We were content just to stay in Arillas, but we're definitely coming back next year and plan to see bit more of the Island.

Brouklis Taverna - (Restaurants in Arillas)

We had great meals here - excellent starters and top-quality meat and fish dishes. On our first night there was a torrential thunderstorm, so Dimitri drove us home. That's what I call service!

Gratzela Taverna - (Restaurants in Arillas)

We kept going back here, both for lunch and dinner. The food is typically homestyle Greek cooking, simply prepared and presented ... very tasty. The terrace is right above the water's edge so you can't get a better view. Staff are really friendly and helpful. Highlight for me was the fish dishes - they'll take you out the back to let you choose from the icebox - it's straight out of the sea and some of the best I've tasted. Exceptionally good value.
